You want too much too soon, there is a general problem now with key phrases so it might not be the best time to start building one. As for AI, leave it empty, and use the simple system until you grasp that, and then take a closer look at it again.

Hey, my bot often forgets things.
A bit strange...

Just a quick question about somthing I wasn't sure about. Under 'My Settings', does the part 'Website(s)' mean websites that you created/own, websites that you are a member of, or somthing else?

I put my msn site, and no one said anything, so I guess any site is ok??

Thanks, thats been driving me nuts.

I always assumed that it was intended for your own personal site/community.

i'm back! ehh what's been happening? how many bugs are there waiting to be fixed?does anyone know if javascript will work in the bots responses?

i dunno i talked to a bot once that spoke javascript but it didnt work maybe it would if you wrote the script tag like and then at the end

I don't think it will. It would get all mangled and jangled (I invented a new word ) when being processed. I guess this is the same reason the AI engine doesn't allow hyperlinks.

hey the tags i wrote disappeared! well i guess that proves it won't work...

I wouldn't imagine javascript would work. The only html tags that work for me are a few simple ones like (in pointy brackets) br, i, b, etc.
Definite non-working tags are: font & a href
I haven't tried any ul, li, table, h1-5, nor any of the non-standard tags for colour/font size that work in these forums (with just the name of the colour/size, and no "font color=" or "font size=")
I would guess the Prof has disabled tags that might cause problems (like spam-serving, links to malicious code, etc.) It's a shame the a href doesn't work though. I'd like Brother Jerome to be able to recommend books and webpages, and offer links to open them in a new window.

He can still suggest the web-sites, but the chatter would have to copy and past them in. I've seen bots that do this.
